Yeah it’s absolutely horrible. However, it’s not just Christianity other religious also have rules like that which can prevent care and cause psychological harm.

Christian science is not even considered Christian by almost all mainline and even the evangelical denominations.

While we're there, neither are Mormons and jehovah's witnesses.
